The Patreon Lens Lets Creators Post Content for Paid Members

With the newly implemented Patreon Lens, content creators can encourage fans to pay a fee to view exclusive clips that disappear after 24 hours.

Adapting a Snapchat-inspired model, the artist and influencer-focused platform is hoping to offer further engagement to incentive fans to purchase a membership. The new tool enables posters to feature both public and private content. The public content, which can be viewed by anyone, offers a sneak peak of the more exclusive content that's being posted within the members-only feature. According to the brand, the temporary nature of these posts offer the creators more freedom as they're not restricted by the need to post a perfectly curated image or video.
